The Texas Railroad Commission : understanding regulation in America to the mid-twentieth century
In this book, the author demonstrates that the myth of Texas Railroad Commission's power was devised by the agency itself as part of building a civil religion of Texas oil. He focuses on the interplay between business and regulators, between state and national regulatory commissions, and among the three branches of government.
